Ahhhh!

This does what I expect, but it is not documented.

Thanks Johan!

That's why I wrote my previous mail?  I simply could not figure out, how
to achieve that and I did not know about (file "filename").  Where is
this in the docs?

But, OK, forget it.  I now know that I have to use the (file "...")
syntax.


So this is one of the neccessary patches:

Still, as I said in my previous mail, the way "%[FILE]" and "%(SEXP)"
work is not quite right and the docs are still incomplete.


Best wishes
